BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a LED driving circuit, in particular, to a LED driving circuit and method.

2. Description of Related Art

The light emitting diode (LED) has become widely used to various displays. Generally, the LED display to define n-bit grayscale means that the grayscale period T is divided into 2^(n) or (2^(n)−1) grayscale steps, and each grayscale step has a time interval T1, wherein T1=T/(2^(n)) or T/(2^(n)−1). A value of n-bit grayscale signal D [n−1:0] (referred to as the brightness value) is used to determine how many grayscale steps need to be turn-on (turn-on steps) in one grayscale period to determine the brightness. The grayscale period T may be equal to the frame period Tf, and the frame period Tf may also include the non-turn-on time Toff, wherein Tf=T+Toff.

The refresh rate has become more important because of the rapid development of displays. The turn-on time in one grayscale period can be divided to increase the refresh rate. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the conventional current output of 8 turn-on steps is continuous in one grayscale period when the brightness value is D [3:0]=1000. Please refer to FIG. 2B. When the current output of 8 turn-on steps are divided into 4 time intervals during the grayscale period, the refresh rate becomes 4/T and therefore has a fourfold increase compared with the conventional refresh rate. (the refresh rate of the conventional waveform is 1/T).

Conventionally, the driving circuit only provides one constant current I. When the brightness value is lower than the amount of time intervals, the refresh rate cannot be sustained. As shown in FIG. 1, when the brightness value is D [3:0]=0001, the turn-on time cannot be divided because there is only one turn-on step. Thus the refresh rate cannot be sustained.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

The LED driving circuit provided by the present disclosure generates a driving current to drive a LED during a grayscale period according to a grayscale signal. The LED driving circuit adjusts an initial current value of the driving current according to a high bit signal of the grayscale signal and increases the driving current in at least two time intervals according to a low bit signal of the grayscale signal to enable the driving current to be greater than the initial current value in the at least two time intervals. The initial current value is ≧0. The initial current value is a first current determined by the high bit signal, the low bit signal determines a second current, and the driving current in the at least two time intervals is a summation of the first and second currents. The LED driving circuit of the present disclosure will be described in the following paragraphs.

Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a block diagram of the driving circuit of the LED in accordance with the present disclosure. The LED driving circuit generates a driving current to drive a LED during a grayscale period according to a grayscale signal. Here, regarding the application of n-bit grayscale, the n-bit is a binary signal used to denote the grayscale signal, wherein n is a positive integer greater than 1. The grayscale signal (or referred as the brightness value) is defined as D [n−1:0] to indicate the grayscale (or brightness) of the LED. The grayscale period T in the frame period Tf is divided into 2^(n) or (2^(n)−1) grayscale steps, and each grayscale step has a time interval T1, wherein T1=T/(2^(n)) or T/(2^(n)−1). The grayscale period T applied in the present embodiment is divided into 2^(n) grayscale steps, and T1=T/(2^(n)). When the grayscale period T is divided into (2^(n)−1) grayscale steps, T1=T/(2^(n)−1). Here, the difference between 2^(n) and (2^(n)−1) is “−1”, but the method of setting the grayscale signal is substantially the same. The LED driving circuit includes a control circuit 1, a high bit driving circuit 2, a low bit driving circuit 3 and a driving output terminal 4.

The control circuit 1 receives a grayscale signal D [n−1:0] and generates a high bit signal and a low bit signal. The high bit driving circuit 2 is coupled to the high bit signal of the grayscale signal D [n−1:0]. The low bit driving circuit 3 is coupled to the low bit signal of the grayscale signal D [n−1:0]. The driving output terminal 4 is coupled to the high bit driving circuit 2 and the low bit driving circuit 3. The control circuit 1 transmits the high bit signal to the high bit driving circuit 2, and transmits the low bit signal to low bit driving circuit 3. Here, the high bit signal and the low bit signal are, for example, control signals or bit value, but it is not limited thereto.

The control circuit 1 defines the grayscale signal D [n−1:0] to be the high bit signal and the low bit signal. For example, the high bit signal has k-bits and the low bit signal has (n−k)-bits, wherein k is a positive integer smaller than n, but it is not limited thereto. The high bit signal is D [n−1:n−k] and the low bit signal is D [n−k−1:0]. Regarding the LED brightness, as long as the driving current value and the turn-on time have a same product, the brightness is the same. For example, a pair of grayscale steps (2T1) applied to 10 mA current and a grayscale step (T1) applied to 20 mA current have the same brightness, namely, 10 mA×2T1=20 mA×T1. Generally, the grayscale signal is used to control the LED brightness, and the value of the grayscale signal corresponds to a product of the driving current and the turn-on time. Please refer to FIG. 1. Conventionally, the value of the grayscale signal D [n−1:0] corresponds to the drive time of the constant current I (driving current), that is, the value of the grayscale signal D [n−1:0] is the number of the turn-on steps in one grayscale period.

Compared with the conventional driving method, the high bit driving circuit 2 of the LED driving circuit of the present embodiment determines a first current I_1 continuously driven during the grayscale period T according to the value of the high bit signal D [n−1:n−k], wherein the first current is invariant during the grayscale period T. The low bit driving circuit 2 determines a second current I_2 driven in at least two time intervals during the grayscale period T according to the value of the low bit signal D [n−k−1:0]. The driving output terminal 4 outputs the driving current Iout added by the first current I_1 and the second current I_2. Here, the LED driving circuit shown in FIG. 3 can be feasibly applied to the method of controlling the LED of the present embodiment.

The control circuit 1 of the present disclosure transmits the high bit signal to the high bit driving circuit 2, and transmits the low bit signal to the low bit driving circuit 3. Here, the control circuit 1 may be a shift resistor or other circuit, and the high bit signal and the low bit signal are, for example, a control signal or bit value, but it is not limited thereto.

Please refer to FIG. 4. The method includes the following steps: S110: defining a grayscale signal to be a high bit signal and a low bit signal; S120: determining a first current I_1 continuously driven during a grayscale period according to a value of the high bit signal of the grayscale signal, wherein the first current I_1 is invariant during the grayscale period; S130: determining a second current I_2 driven in at least two time intervals during the grayscale period according to a value of the low bit signal of the grayscale signal; and S140: outputting a driving current lout added by the first current I_1 and the second current I_2. Compared with the conventional grayscale (or brightness) generated by the grayscale signal D [n−1:0], the present disclosure further sets the driving current Tout value and the turn-on timing to enable the LED to generate the same grayscale (or brightness). Here, S120 and S130 can be executed simultaneously after S110, and the first current I_1 can be determined before/after the second current I_2.

In the present embodiment, the first current I_1 is determined before the second current I_2, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. According to the conventional LED driving method (applying the constant current I to drive the LED), the value of the grayscale signal D [n−1:0] is S, and the turn-on time of the constant current I is represented by S×T1. Please refer to FIG. 5A. The product of the constant current I and the turn-on time is S×T1×I which is denoted by A1. According to the conventional LED driving method (applying the constant current I to drive the LED), the value of the high bit signal D [n−1:n−k] is m, the value of the low bit signal D [n−k−1:0] is p, S is represented by m×2^((n−k))+p and the product of the constant current I and the time is represented by (m×2^((n−k))+p)×T1×I. In order to obtain the same grayscale, the driving current Iout of the LED of the present embodiment is divided into the first current I_1 and the second current I_2.

On the basis of the conventional LED driving method and the product of the constant current I and the time that is represented by (m×2^((n−k))+p)×T1×I, the product of the constant current I and the time can be changed to be m×2^((n−k))×T1×I+p×T1×I if m and p are separated. Thus the value of the first current I_1 is m/(2^(k))×I. Please refer to FIG. 5B. The first current I_1 is m/(2^(k))×I, and the product of the first current I_1 and the time is m/(2^(k))×2^(n)×T1×I which is denoted as A2. The first current I_1 determines whether to drive the LED during the grayscale period T according to the value of the high bit signal D [n−1:n−k]. When the value of the high bit signal D [n−1:n−k] is 0, the first current I_1 is 0, and when the value of the high bit signal D [n−1:n−k] is >0, the first current I_1 is m/(2^(k))×I during the grayscale period T. It can therefore be found that the first current I_1 varies with the value of the high bit signal D [n−1:n−k]. The greater the value m of the high bit signal D [n−1:n−k] is, the higher the first current I_1 is. In addition, the second current I_2 is driven in at least two time intervals during the grayscale period. As shown in FIG. 5B, the second current I_2 is divided into I_2 a and I_2 b, and I_2 a and I_2 b can be the same or different. The present disclosure does not limit the number and duration of the time interval. In addition, the present disclosure does not limit the gap in the time intervals and the current magnitude of the second current I_2 in each time interval. The product of the second current I_2 and the time during the grayscale period T is p×T1×I which is denoted as A3 regardless of the number of the time intervals and the current magnitude of the second current I_2 in each time interval. That is, the product of the second current I_2 and the time is p×T1×I. Here, a sum of A2 and A3 according to the present embodiment is equal to A1 according to the conventional LED driving method. However, the present disclosure does not limit that the first current I_1 has to be m/(2^(k))×I. When the first current I_1 changes, the second current I_2 changes.

In the present embodiment, the first current I_1 is set to be m/(2^(k))×I, and the product of the second current I_2 and the time is set to be p×T1×I. In certain embodiments, the second current I_2 is further set to be 1/(2^(k))×I, and the total turn-on time of all time intervals of the second current I_2 is the value of the low bit signal×2^(k)×T1, that is, p×(2^(k))×T1.

Please refer to FIG. 6, which is a timing diagram illustrating the difference between driving the LED by the driving current based on the grayscale signal D [4:0]=00001 according to the present embodiment and driving the LED by the conventional driving current. When 5-bit grayscale is applied, the two bits D [4:3] (k=2) are defined to the high bit signal and three bits D[2:0] are defined to the low bit signal, and the grayscale period is T and the grayscale step T1 is T/32. When the grayscale signal is D [4:0]=00001, the current sequences I₂, I₃ and I₄ replace the conventional current sequence I₁, and the first current I_1 is set to be m/(2^(k))×I.

As shown in the current sequence I₂, the second current I_2 is set to be 1/(2^(k))×I. The high bit driving circuit does not generate the driving current during the grayscale period T because of D [4:3]=0, and the low bit driving circuit generates the 1/4×I current equally driven at four T1×1 time intervals during the grayscale period T because of D [2:0]=1. But it is not limited thereto. The position of four time intervals can be changed, and it is not limited by the current sequence I₂ shown in FIG. 6. Compared with the conventional current sequence I₁, the product of the driving current value and the turn-on time in the current sequence I₂ is 1/4×I×T1×4=I×T1, and the brightness of the current sequence I₂ is the same as the brightness of the current sequence I₁. In addition, the refresh rate of the current sequence I₂ has a fourfold increase compared with the refresh rate of the current sequence I₁ because the current state of I₂ changes four times during the grayscale period T.

As shown in the current sequence I₃, the second current I_2 is set to be 1/(2^(k))×I. When D [4:0]=00001, the high bit driving circuit does not generate the driving current during the grayscale period T because of D [4:3]=0, and the low bit driving circuit generates the 1/4×I current equally driven at two T1×2 time intervals during the grayscale period T because of D [2:0]=1. But it is not limited thereto. The position of the two time intervals can be changed. Compared with the current sequence I₁, the product of the driving current value and the turn-on time in the current sequence I3 is 1/4×I×2T1×2=I×T1, and the brightness of the current sequence I3 is the same as the brightness of the current sequence I₁. In addition, the refresh rate of the current sequence I₃ has a double increase compared with the refresh rate of the current sequence I₁. The brightness uniformity of the two time intervals of the current sequence I₃ is more uniform than the current sequence I₂, because the turn-on time of every time interval of I₃ is longer than I₂

The second current I_2 is set to be I/2 in the current sequence I₄. When D [4:0]=00001, the high bit driving circuit does not generate the driving current during the grayscale period T because of D [4:3]=0, and the low bit driving circuit generates the I/2 current equally driven at two T1×1 time intervals during the grayscale period T because of D [2:0]=1. But it is not limited thereto. The position of the two time intervals can be changed. Compared with the current sequence I₁, the product of the driving current value and the turn-on time in the current sequence I₄ is 1/2×I×T1×2=I×T1, and the brightness of the current sequence I₄ is the same as the brightness of the current sequence I₁. In addition, the refresh rate during the grayscale period T has a double increase compared with the current sequence I₁ because the current state of I₄ changes two times during the grayscale period T.

Please refer to FIG. 7. When the grayscale signal is D [4:0]=01010, the conventional current sequence is I₅, and the current sequence of the present embodiment is I₆. According to the first current I_1 that is set to be m/(2^(k))×I, the high bit driving circuit outputs the 1/(2²)×I current during the grayscale period T because of the value of the high bit signal D [4:3]=1. The value of the low bit signal D [2:0]=2 enables the low bit driving circuit to generate the I/4 current equally driven at eight T1×I time intervals during the grayscale period T. But it is not limited thereto. Compared with the conventional current sequence I₅, the product of the driving current value and the turn-on time in the current sequence I₆ is 1/4×I×32T1+1/4×I×T1×8=I×T1×10, thus the current sequence I₅ and the current sequence I₆ have the same luminosity.

Please refer to FIG. 8. When the grayscale signal is D [4:0]=10010, the conventional current sequence is I₇, and the current sequence of the present embodiment is I₈. The high bit driving circuit outputs the 2/(2²)×I current during the grayscale period T because of D [4:3]=2. The low bit driving circuit divides the turn-on time into 2^(k) time intervals. In addition, the low bit driving circuit generates the I/4 current equally driven at the four T1×2 time intervals during the grayscale period T because of D [2:0]=2. But it is not limited thereto. Compared with the conventional current sequence I₇, the product of the driving current value and the turn-on time in the current sequence I₈ is 2/4×I×32T1+1/4×I×2T1×4=I×T1×18, thus the current sequence I₇ and the current sequence I₈ have the same brightness.

Please refer to FIG. 9. When the grayscale signal is D [4:0]=11010, the conventional current sequence is I₉, and the current sequence of the present embodiment is I₁₀. The high bit driving circuit outputs the 3/(2²)×I current during the grayscale period T because of D [4:3]=3, and the low bit driving circuit generates the 1/2×I current equally driven at four T1×2 time intervals during the grayscale period T because of D [2:0]=2. But it is not limited thereto. Compared with the conventional current sequence I₉, the product of the driving current value and the grayscale period T in the current sequence I₁₀ is 3/4×I×32T1+1/2×I×T1×4=I×T1×26, thus the current sequence I₉ and the current sequence I₁₀ have the same brightness.

Please refer to FIG. 10. When the grayscale signal is D [4:0]=11111, the conventional current sequence is I₁₁, and the current sequences of the present embodiment are I₁₂ and I₁₃. In the current sequence I₁₂, the high bit driving circuit outputs the 3/(2²)×I current during the grayscale period T because of D [4:3]=3, and the low bit driving circuit generates the 1/4×I current equally driven at four T1×7 time intervals during the grayscale period T because of D [2:0]=7. Compared with the conventional current sequence I₁₁, the product of the driving current value and the turn-on time in the current sequence I₁₂ is 3/4×I×32T1+1/4×I×7T1×4=I×T1×31, thus the current sequence I₁₁ and the current sequence I₁₂ have the same brightness. Compared with the current sequence I₁₂, the time intervals in the current sequence I₁₃ are changed to be three T1×7 time intervals 101, 102 and 103, wherein the current generated by the low bit driving circuit at the first time interval 101 is 2/4×I, and the current generated by low bit driving circuit at both the second time interval 102 and the third time interval 103 is 1/4×I. It is therefore found that the current sequence I₁₂ and the current sequence I₁₃ have the same brightness.

Generally, there is a black insertion Toff generated in the frame period Tf whenever a scan is performed. FIG. 11A shows the conventional current sequence I₁₄ that the conventional LED driving circuit outputs 4 black insertion signals 180 (zero current in FIG. 11A) when the grayscale signal is D [4:0]=11111. And the current sequence of the present embodiment is I₁₅. The high bit driving circuit outputs the 3/(2²)×I current during the grayscale period T because of D [4:3]=3, and the low bit driving circuit generates the 1/4×I current equally driven at four T1×7 time intervals during the grayscale period T because of D [2:0]=7. In addition, the driving output terminal outputs a black insertion signal 190 having a time duration Toff (zero current in FIG. 11B) at each time interval of the second current I_2. Compared with the conventional current sequence I₁₄, the product of the driving current value and the turn-on time in the current sequence I₁₅ is 3/4×I×32T1+1/4×I×7T1×4=I×T1×31, thus the current sequence I₁₄ and the current sequence I₁₅ have the same brightness.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure the grayscale period T can be a time duration or a sum of a plurality of time intervals. For example, as shown in FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B, the grayscale period T is divided into a plurality of time intervals by the black insertion signals 180 and 190, but the total time is invariant.

In summary, the LED driving circuit and method of the present disclosure use two driving circuits to respectively process the turn-on time of different data bits to promote the refresh rate in low grayscale. In addition, when the turn-on time of the second current is greater than 1 at each time interval, the LED display can be improved with a higher refresh rate and/or better uniformity in low grayscale and setting the black insertion in the frame period is not interfered with. In other words, the present disclosure drives the LED by lower current and longer drive time, thereby achieving better brightness uniformity in low grayscale by prolonging the drive time in every time interval.
